XPL-processor for making HTTP requests with Content-Type=multipart/mixed?

Mats,

I have seen multipart/mixed being used mostly for emails, e.g. when
you want to have an HTML and text version of the same content in an
email, and let the email client which one it prefers to render. We
support the multipart/mixed in the email processor only. At this
point, the xforms:submission does not support multipart/mixed or
multipart/related. We only support multipart/form-data. Would that be
an acceptable alternative, or do you have a service that explicitly
expects data to be posted in multipart/mixed?

Mats,

I see; like you say supporting multipart/mixed would be desirable.
With some luck, we'll get someone to sponsor this soon and it will get
done :).

Another things you can do speed things up when you have a number of
requests to send to a backend is to send them all at the same time, so
they can run in parallel. You can do this running asynchronous
submission. You then wait on all the submissions being done with
<xxforms:join-submission/>. You'll find more on this at:

I can live without it, but it would be nice to have it. I understand a more recent version of XForms  supports this, as does XProc.  But as I said, it's not crucial at this moment.
